Can't Get You Out Of My Head: Brain Worms - Topic of the day 5/1/24
Have an item that's been eating you up inside? Share that piece that you've been mulling over but still haven't pulled the trigger on. (Posting eBay/Grailed auctions here is probably not a good idea)

So so many haha
Yep
Basically Should we restrict ourselves to stuff we are planning to buy in the near future or should we include the aspirational stuff as well?
For me one example are Crocs but idk what level of Crocs I should go for
there are no rules. chat about clothes you want but haven't bought
Churches Mary Jane’s and Kapital Makanai fleece. One is wildly expensive and the other one seems like a huge risk of being corny
which is which though?
I got a few im waiting for sales on to afford:
ALD Mesh Polo
4S Designs Silk Blazer
FCW Patchwork Dress Shirt
these/similar huaraches have been on my radar for months. sneaking up on summer and they're calling my name
Do it
There's a few things on my radar that I neglect to get till I find them in person for what I think is the best price
The blazer is cool. Lovely slutty (in the best way) summer fit
There's prob some irrational aspects to that approach
i think it's wise to mull over purchases rather than just buying on a whim. feels like it's something you really actually want then
too many things, but these are comin relatively soon and I think about many times a week
these fuck
those are unreal cool
in time...
Agreed! I think some of the irrational aspect is wanting to have a cool story for how I found the item lol
junya shoe collabs been crazy this year
I think there is an enjoyment in wistfully longing for something.
I feel like that is obvious
Those are sick
lol you got like 2 months before it’s hot enough to wear them regularly
My Kleman Mary janes look very similar n r fairly cheap I feel like?
Grailed
Yohji Yamamoto Dyed Suspender Trousers | Grailed
Searching for Dyed Suspender Trousers? We’ve got Yohji Yamamoto Men's Bottoms starting at $220 and plenty of other Men's Bottoms. Shop our selection of Yohji Yamamoto today!
Someone already snagged them but I still think about them
Junya poem shirt haunts me
Was it you who posted about these before? Because they’ve been on my mind ever since haha they’re so sick
yeah lmao I can't stop
I don't think I actually want them, but these secondhand croc loafers live rent-free in my head. At the one hand I love the sleaze of them, on the other hand they are offensively tasteless. These were alledgedly bespoke/mto and are closed by a velcro strap. Someone made the decision to put a velcro strap on a pair of shoes that aledgedly costed them 1250 euros. My mind boggels.
Have I just killed the conversation? 🙃

This whole set tbh
rennes — Aseedonclöud | HW Coat in Brown Corduroy
This jacket is made of soft brown corduroy, you will reach for this piece time and time again. There is a nice hood, big pockets, and sweet buttons down the front, perfect!
Those r wild. Would be kinda hot with a white suit
i kinda want white loafers as well
that reminds me
corduroy is always good
True. I kinda like the spines of the back along the upper
One of these days.
mutters something about fit battle ro4
Yea but it’s the Churches ones that are stuck in my head lol
I’ve basically written off the belted ranch cardigan as not happening for me
Someday I’ll probably have a minor menty b and snag one though
I'll forge an auction and say I got it cheap
I feel like I’ve never seen one for less than $800 on auction lol
I found that one that looked like 💩 you guys talked me out of getting
other than that no joy
that said i'm closing in on a two years' long cold war over this https://shopjungli.com/products/fw22-c-b-21
Jungli Vintage

I hate you for putting this into my wishlist
It's not enough I have to bear this burden. Others must suffer.
menty b
Oh there’s another item that I want that’s insanely priced. Kapital American Quilt Bibark Dragging Coat
Oh this is so much cooler than the sweatshirt fuck
Then there are these WWII Australian royal navy bellbottom pants I yearn for. Unfortunately they are sold out in my size.
I just need to marry rich
just found the brown one on vinted for 500€
The horizontal stripes one?
I think that's the one I was talked out of
yupp
It's the native patterns that are 🔥
feel like this fucking topic is gonna make me pull the trigger
true. Although I am always a bit concerned about cultural appropriation with these things
They are working with native designers, Naioimi Glasses has done designs for some insane ranch cardigans and coats.
thats good
but that doesn't wash it away for the previous gens. There's more than a few RRL pieces with that problem.
isn't RRL infamous for outsourcing native designs to china?
the label from the one i found on vinted says made in china
PRL and RRL, my vintage handknit southwestern is from china.
rigards has been on my mind for a long time https://www.rigards.com/pages/copper @Pesty Al Gaib reminded me recently
but i would want to try stuff on, and there's no where in seattle afaik
so nice!
So much shit
Also all kinds of yohji x junji or uc x undercover stuff
This man has wants
These DRKSHDW jeans have nothing really special going on but they're the perfect fit for my summer wardrobe. I've bought them 6 years ago but the shop cancelled my order because of a mistake on their part. I've been chasing them ever since, never to ever come across any pair in my size (28). RICHARD WHY HAVE YOU NOT REISSUED THEM???
I love how little consistency there is in this wishlist
🙂
I’m working on it…. It’s been a wild ride. I’m narrowing in on some things (chunky footwear, oversized floral tops, big outerwear, wide pants) but I feel pulled in a bunch of directions (avant garde, workwear and gorpy mostly)
I feel you
Guys I think I was mistaken and I actually need a bigger size, WHICH IS AVAILABLE ONLINE
PRAY FOR ME
I’m almost entirely unlikely to buy the kiss heels but everything else is on the table still
No worries you'll figure it out
We all go through it
there is a goth in me yearning to break free lol
It's part of the process
thats comforting
bc its sometimes stressing me out
Full rick is the only way to fully live your dreams
DO IT
Nah
so true
Rick is not really my thing
So real
though their stuff is nice
team 'normalize having different sources of inspiration whose unifying theme is the person wearing them all'
Shit I didn’t even put any of the insane chainmail stuff up
Like also stuff I’m unlikely to buy, or the rick veil
But it’s still living rent free in my head (I’m bad at being a landlord)
Good for you
otherwise we would have a problem :commie:
/jk
I think If I do it i want to incorporate it into the stuff I am already wearing.
good taste
I feel like it's easier when you just commit to an aesthetic and then water it down
Like Yohji san said, you need to first copy copy copy copy
Until you aint copying anymore
chrome wishlist + painted suede tabis
At least that's what I did and how I see things
Based wishlist
The tabis are up there on my grails
I still don't know if I want these or the green ones
fr im actually so sad i slept on a pair on grailed even though they were a little over priced i am not finding them anywhere in my size anymore 😭
Anne Valentin, also loralis optical in bellevue
The issue with Grailed is that on such items you got a really high chance of running into fakes
yeah i know, they looked good though. could have used stolen pics or somethin tho
And it's very hard to spot unless you're a complete [insert designer name]head
this variant i would be very surprised if they copied
like they just copy the normal painted ones
I would love to get secondhand Guidis for instance but I've seen how the fake ones look and I couldn't tell fakes from real ones
yeah for sure, ive gotten 2nd hand guidis but i had to run them by a lot of people
pl2s i got on sale retail
Wait what's up with the version you posted
I thought they were the regular painted ones
they're sueded
Oh fuck
not smooth black leather
i like em more
I did not know this existed
This is amazing
yeah theyre not super common which is why im sad 😭
wtf I haven’t seen these
These are HOT
You definitely provided me with a new grail
I think I might try for these since the ora primos are on my shortlist….
will check them out thnx! i went to loralis but she said they havent gotten anything from rigards in a while =/
I am in my Drake’s period, and I dream about their games suit, suede jacket and coveralls
Just wanted to chime in that thanks to this topic I’ve had the Kylie Minogue song stuck in my head all morning 😭
As someone in his Brycelands period I feel your pain :401k:
are these just cropped white detroits or collapse cut?
Celine SS23 ‘Dysfunctional Bauhaus’
Summer goals tbh (I would need to sell organs to buy this jacket)
Bless you
A few odds and ends from my inspo folder: patchwork sweaters from Beams+, a margiela hoodie, and 2 supreme collabs - sk8 his and the old north face map jacket that ruled the internet about 10 years ago
Ah well, my list is not terribly long. Im in london in a few weeks. Here is to hoping I don't like their stuff when I see it in person - for the sake of my bank account :keepincool:
Me neither , only 4 items but it’s maybe 4000€
Collapse cut if memory serves me right
I’d like to thank this thread for reminding me to dig through my grailed wishlist and find a shirt I favorited a while ago discounted by >$100
congrats!
THE JEANS ARE BOUGHT
I REPEAT
THEY ARE ON THEIR WAY
This thread was a trap
The natural conclusion to little treat culture
Peggy gou remix goes hard
oop now i gotta take a spotify detour
She didn’t do too much to it but it’s v fun I think
I'm starting to wait for this feeling to see how much I really want it. But it can cost me:
When I was a day late to Wales Bonner x Adidas Sambas.
When I missed Ralph Lauren Polo Bear x Yankees Sweater.
Currently getting pelted with interesting loafers and no reason to have many, but also, why not? Waiting for one (or more?) to get me more obsessed.
Also have too much from a list I can describe as "riviera/beach/Hamptons style shots where the guy looks great, and not like a douchebag" (to me).
These worms are great, I think. Unless you obsess+regret.
Anyone know about sizing on these? Especially the Chamula ones
Buzz Ricksons x William Gibson MA-1 save me. Save me Buzz Ricksons x William Gibson MA-1.
Rent free in my head for a decade and counting.
Chamula is true to size, although you can go half down and still be fun if you want a really snug fit
Thank you! The pairs on NMWA keep tempting me
I love my pair, highly recommend
Did you go TTS or size down?
Not sure how I feel about the super snug fit - although if they stretch out then it could be nice
I went half down. They do stretch a bit
@carrion I can’t believe you’ve done this
my girlfriend wants a pair of the hoka ora primo x junya chain jawns
we’re gonna be walking around sounding like janitors
microinfluencing moment
fr
just give me the new balance junya loafers...
Also those
Mew next time we’re in nyc group junya loafer fit pic
youre mighty confident we'll all get them.....
:trollscary:
when did you buy yours? seems they may have rehauled sizing and are now "true to size"?
Oh I bought mine like 4 years ago 😂
